SOLD OUT!

Pre-orders are close to being full! Please check The Black Oven social media for availability before coming out to avoid disappointment!

UPDATE: SOLD OUT FOR TONIGHT

Preorders are filled up for tonight but we still have a few to sell at the window if you want to drive out to Smith Camps Trading Post later!

Always a really good idea to check our social media before making the trip since we have been known to sell out!

Looking forward to seeing you!

The Black Oven is pulling in Friday! 🍕 See their post for more information and text her for preorders!

*we will not be serving any other drinks or food out of the lodge, Black Oven pizza only*

We’ve always wanted to have boat up service so we asked Smith Camps Trading Post if they would want to host our crew for an evening to say so long to summer…They said yes!

Come join us this Friday at the one and only, Smith Camps on Lake of the Woods. 4:30-7:30pm

We’ll have limited preorders up for grabs, we want you to just come and sit by the lake and watch the sun go down.

Put the Critter Coating to work tonight to make some homemade chicken fingers!

If you miss the fish and chips back from our restaurant days, this is exactly what we used! As a corn flour product, it is naturally gluten free and very versatile. The bottles and bags hold the same product, only in different quantities.

Available here at the lodge, or various locations in Kenora including Rabbit Lake Store, Keewatin Place, Redden’s, Sunset Baits, and Lake of the Woods Sports Headquarters!
